Artstorm should introduce more customization options that truly tailormake our ships and playstyles. Also, appreciation post!

Specialization systems like:

• missile specialization(improves damage, initial speed, etc)
• gun specialization(improving shell speed, increasing magazine size, etc)

Hull modifications:

• increase armor thickness at certain areas of the ship
• decrease hp in exchange for increased speed and agility
• sacrifice one weapon slot for increased visual, underwater, or radar detection

I absolutely appreciate the direction that Artstorm is taking. That we have a ASF that has a wider angle of missile lock-ons in the Tornado, another new better ASF, better ballistic missiles, more unique weapons, better helicopters, ship abilities, etc. it's great!

On the other hand, I wish that Artstorm would also give more emphasis to the general roles of the ship classes while allowing them build flexibility.

Frigates:

• anti-submarine
• anti-ship
• damage dealing
• scouting
• dueling

Destroyers

• anti-air
• anti-ship
• anti-submarine
• defense

Cruisers

• damage dealing
• tanking damage
• anti-air
• anti-sub
• missile-based weaponry

Battleships

• damage dealing
• anti-ship
• ant-air
• tanking damage
• gun-based weaponry

CV

• higher airborne presence
• mobility focused
• high defenses, but weaker hp

ACV

• stronger airborne damage(we can have ACVs that have 2 bombers)
• can tank more damage, but less mobile
• stronger defenses than CV

Attack subs

• fast
• stealthiest
• lots of torpedoes

Missile subs

• slow
• weaker stealth
• long ranged missile based artillery

Assault ships, ekranoplans, and hoverboats are unique.
